Oil prices have surged after Donald Trump dismissed Iran’s proposal to end the ongoing conflict, intensifying concerns across global energy markets. His rejection has heightened fears of prolonged instability in the Middle East, a region critical to global oil supply. Traders are reacting to the increased risk of disruptions, particularly around key shipping routes, driving volatility and pushing crude prices higher.
